Both auto-forwarding and auto-reply are paid features, which makes cancelling & switching much more difficult. Gmail is a breeze comparatively. I highly recommend against using their addresses (e.g. protonmail.com, proton.me, pm.me)
Email forwarding is available for everyone with a paid Proton Mail plan.

my beef with proton mail is that i can’t use it on thunderbird and their android app doesn’t have notifications (at least without google spy services.)
I use it on Thunderbird. I just couldn’t grow to like thunderbird.
i couldn’t set it up and it went a little beyond my understanding why, but apparently it’s a paid feature. i don’t necessarily love thubderbird either, but it does its job for me

You have to use the Proton Mail Bridge

To get notifications using the Android app on a de-googled phone, you can use the app ‘You Have Mail’ available on F-Droid. It was developed to solve the issue you described.
